OAKLAND, Calif. — An incredible streak was done in by an incredible comeback Thursday by the Trail Blazers.

Led by a determined and playground-tough 41 points from Brandon Roy, and a whirlwind 17-3 run to close the game, the Blazers overcame a 13-point fourth quarter deficit and beat Golden State 110-105, ending a nine-game losing streak at Oracle Arena.

“It’s over,’’ a smiling coach Nate McMillan said, referring to the streak. “But I’m a lot happier about what we did: we followed the game plan and executed.’’

The Blazers wanted to take advantage of their size to score inside and get to the free throw line and they succeeded at both. Portland had 53 rebounds, including a season-high 22 offensive rebounds that led to 29 second-chance points. The Blazers also hit 31-of-37 free throws; Golden State made 19-of-21.

Golden State led 96-83 entering the fourth quarter and 102-93 with 6:43 left before its free-wheeling, high octane show ran out of gas. Golden State finished the game missing 8 of its final 9 shots and scored three points over its final 12 possessions.

The Blazers (39-28) moved a season-high 11 games over .500 and increased their lead to four games over Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot with 15 games remaining. Portland also moved to within a half-game of seventh-place San Antonio.

Roy’s fourth career game of 40 or more points kept the Blazers within striking distance for much of the game, but he didn’t score over the final 6:11 as Rudy Fernandez hit two big three-pointers and LaMarcus Aldridge broke out from a miserable game to put the finishing touches on the Blazers’ biggest fourth-quarter comeback of the season.

Entering the fourth quarter, Aldridge was 0-for-7 with three turnovers, but he hit 4-of-7 shots, 2-of-3 free throws and added an assist as the Blazers outscored Golden State 27-9.

“My mindset was trying to figure out a way to get going,’’ Aldridge said. “I had to figure out how to give us some help.’’

Aldridge, who finished with 14 points and 8 rebounds, also received a verbal assist from Roy at the start of the quarter.

“Keep shooting,’’ Roy and Aldridge said at the same time, reliving the moment the two walked onto the court for the beginning of the fourth.

“Yeah, he told me to keep shooting and luckily, I found my rhythm,’’ Aldridge said.

Roy received his own verbal assist from teammate Martell Webster, who told the star that he needed to recapture the flair that has left his game recently, particularly in the Blazers last two games against Denver and Sacramento.

Roy did that and more.

Playing with a combination of grit, anger and swagger that hasn’t been seen since last year’s playoffs, Roy both tormented and punished the Warriors' defense. If he wasn’t posting smaller guards like Monta Ellis and Reggie Williams, bumping and elbowing them along the way, he was trying to dunk the ball down Anthony Tolliver’s throat.

When Golden State started clogging and trapping inside, Roy then added some style points, lofting pretty jumpers after crisp jab-steps, hitting nothing but net in the process.

“It was one of those games where I was just hoopin’,’’ Roy said. “That’s what I said to the guys on the bench: ‘This is one of those games where you just have to hoop.’ You know? Because (Golden State) makes it so funky. So once we stopped thinking and worrying about the refs, we started to hoop. And that’s the way I was the whole time, like, ‘So what.’ Just play. Go back to when we were just kids. Hoop.’’

Much was written in the Bay Area about the defense of Monta Ellis against Roy after the Warriors’ win on Nov. 20. The Blazers star was held to 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting and committed three turnovers. While Ellis and the media claimed tenacious defense, Roy was complained that Ellis was allowed to pull, tug and slap at him all game.

However, Roy insists that he didn’t take all the Ellis hype personally, and that it wasn’t a motivating factor.

“I don’t care about that stuff,’’ Roy said. “As long as a guy doesn’t talk trash to me, I don’t really care about what people write. Because sometimes that stuff can come off the wrong way. Someone showed it to me, and I didn’t even read the whole thing. I was like, man, I don’t care about that.’’

In the first half, Roy lived in the key, either posting or slicing for close-range shots. At halftime he had 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from the foul line. He did have four turnovers.

The Blazers were up to their old tricks in the first half — making the Warriors look like a playoff team. Portland started 1-for-11 from the field, which included two missed layups by Miller, a miss by Aldridge off a lob pass, and a Marcus Camby miss on a tip.

Portland, second-best in the NBA at taking care of the ball (12.7 turnovers a game) had eight in the first quarter.

To make matters worse, the Blazers were not only losing the ball, the lead and their confidence, but also their temper. Rudy Fernandez was whistled for a technical by Bill Spooner after complaining that C.J. Watson hit him with an elbow during a fast break. It was the second career technical for Fernandez, both coming at Golden State. After the Warriors cashed in on the technical, they led 55-45.

Portland closed the half on a 13-5 run, with Roy scoring the final nine Blazers points to creep within 60-58.

In the third quarter the Blazers were never in a groove, trailing by eight to 10 points for much of the quarter. They could never get the close-range shots to fall while Golden State seemingly couldn’t miss from beyond the three-point line. The Warriors hit 10 three-pointers, including 4-of-5 attempts in the third.

It all just set the stage for a wild and crazy fourth quarter, which by the end left owner Paul Allen’s red Blazers baseball cap tilted and riding high on his forehead, the result of countless tugs and adjustments during a harried finish.

Meanwhile, a red army of Blazers rowdies in section 105, complete with face paint and signs, was sent into a frenzy. A Blazers team hasn’t won here since opening night of 2004, when coach Maurice Cheeks rode the 20 points of Nick Van Exel and the 10 rebounds of Zach Randolph to a 78-75 win.

Notes: Golden State’s nine fourth-quarter points ties the Blazers franchise low for an opponent in the fourth quarter. The last time it happened was Dec. 30, 2007, against Philadelphia ... Roy is one of four Blazers to have four games of 40 or more points in his career, joining Kiki Vandeweghe (4), Geoff Petrie (13) and Clyde Drexler (18) ... Miller had seven assists and moved past Norm Nixon into 23rd all-time on the NBA career assists list with 6,389.
